The EarthBound Halloween Hack is a 2008 ROM hack of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game EarthBound, developed by American indie developer Toby Fox. It is a role-playing game featuring gameplay similar to the original EarthBound. It takes place in an alternative timeline of EarthBound where Varik, the main character, soon enters the lab of Dr. Andonuts, who has been wracked with grief, believing that his actions during EarthBound's story killed his son Jeff. The EarthBound Halloween Hack has been described as featuring similarities in themes and writing to Fox's later game Undertale. It was one of Fox's earliest experiences in game development, drawing inspiration from the Brandish series. It was released on November 1, 2008. Retrospectively, the EarthBound Halloween Hack has been subject to mixed reception by video game journalists, who praised its overall writing while criticizing its edgy humor. "Megalovania" from its audio track was later remixed for other projects Fox worked on, including Undertale, where it attained wide popularity. Fox has since looked back unfavorably on the EarthBound Halloween Hack.
